Title: | The context of study abroad: affordances and constraints in the development of plurilingual identity | Authors: | Soule, Maria Victoria Marinov Vranješ, Sanja Cots, Josep M. |
Major Field of Science: | Humanities | Field Category: | Languages and Literature | Keywords: | Agency;context;mobile students;plurilingual identity;structure | Issue Date: | 1-Jan-2023 | Source: | Language and Intercultural Communication, 2023, vol. 23, iss. 5, pp. 483 - 497 | Volume: | 23 | Issue: | 5 | Start page: | 483 | End page: | 497 | Journal: | Language and Intercultural Communication | Abstract: | This study examines study abroad as a context for plurilingual identity development in response to the critique of identity research in applied linguistics, which points to a bias that emphasises user agency and disregards the impact of structural elements. It is based on the analysis of the contextual constraints and affordances for developing plurilingual identity that SA students refer to in their narratives. The analysis shows that structure can be as important a component as agency and that students' representations of the SA context are linked to their pre-SA plurilingual experience and the portrayal of their plurilingual identity. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/30937 | ISSN: | 14708477 | DOI: | 10.1080/14708477.2023.2228284 | Rights: | © Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International |
